Biography

Vincent Morris is a founding partner member of the Open Access Law Firm, PLLC. Morris co-founded this one of a kind law firm in an effort to provide a market-based solution to the problem of access to justice for all. His work includes developing innovative methods of distributing legal resources and legal advice via multimedia technologies. His passion is combining law and technology in creative ways in order to extend access to justice to all Arkansans, as well as for his clients throughout the nation.

Before entering private practice Vincent Morris was Director of the Arkansas Legal Services Partnership and Director of the Arkansas Pro Bono Partnership where each day his mission was to improve the lives of low-income Arkansans by championing equal access to justice for all by expanding the reach of free legal aid to poor Arkansans. Morris worked for legal aid for twelve years beginning as an 8 week summer intern and became Director of the Arkansas Legal Services Partnership in 2011.

Vincent Morris is recognized by the American Bar Association as a Legal Rebel. One of the few attorneys across the nation that are “the innovators – the folks who’ve found a different path, some new way to blend the needs of their clients or their practice, or even their own needs of personal expression, into the way they practice the law.” See Vince Morris – ABA Legal Rebel.

Morris is also an Adjunct Professor at the UALR Bowen School of Law in Little Rock, Arkansas where he teaches newly designed seminars to upper level law students. His current seminars include: (1) Justice Technology: New Models, Markets & Access to Justice; and (2) Entrepreneurship, Law and Innovation.
